Profile: Last season was the first one that Gomez spent in the majors and he went 4-5 with the Indians with a 4.68 ERA. His debut was not spectacular, be he seems to be an interesting pitcher. He had a 5.3 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 11 starts in 2010. This values are just a little worse than his minor-league numbers of 6.6 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9. The 3.4 BB/9 will not cut it in the Majors when a pitcher is only striking out only five to six batters a games. One plus he has is a better-than-average GB rate (46.8%) which could add some needed value. One major problem with him, though, is that he pitches for the Indians. Gomez would probably pick up double-digit wins with a team like the Yankees just by keeping them in the game. With Cleveland, he may easily end up only winning a handful of games, while hurting a fantasy teams ERA and WHIP. There's no reason to draft him in any league except possibly a deep AL only league. Gomez may be worth a waiver-wire pick-up later if his K/9 and/or BB/9 improve. (Jeff Zimmerman)

The Quick Opinion: Gomez will need to show improvement for him to be viable fantasy option in 2011.

Profile: Gomez pitched quite well in 21 Triple-A starts in 2011, seemingly establishing himself as a potential key cog of the Indians rotation. And early in 2012, he seemed to be filling that role. Not counting a two inning appearance at Kansas City (he was tossed for a retaliatory hit-by-pitch to start the 3rd), Gomez was solid in his first three starts -- 18.1 innings, six earned runs, 18 hits, four walks, 12 strikeouts. But the rest of the year was not kind and, when all was said and done, his 5.96 ERA was only slightly more brutal than his 5.47 FIP. He couldn't strike anyone out, he walked far too many, he was homer-prone. But the Indians are short on starting pitchers and may need Gomez again. Just hope that your fantasy team does not. (Chad Young)

The Quick Opinion: Jeanmar Gomez has shown flashes in the past, but in 206.2 major league innings, his 4.88 FIP leaves much to be desired. He'll be 25 on opening day, so there may still be time, but I wouldn't want him on my roster.

Profile: Gomez started eight games for the Pirates last year, but projects to be a middle reliever or a swingman for them in 2014. Such a role makes him a non-factor in almost all fantasy leagues. And considering his 5.91 strikeouts per nine were a career high, he should remain unownable unless he magically becomes dominant in middle relief or the entire Pirates' bullpen implodes and he wears the closer crown -- neither of which seem remotely probable. (JP Breen)

Profile: Jeanmar Gomez has been an exactly replacement level pitcher over his five seasons in the big leagues. He is a mediocre middle reliever and has no value in fantasy formats. (Ben Duronio)

Profile: It's tempting to describe Gomez as "a major league reliever" and move along to the next guy. He does very little to inspire excitement, but it's that quiet production that makes him useful. In 2015, the Phillies mostly used him as an innings-eating middle reliever. He'll likely fill a similar role in 2016. As a reliever over most of the last three seasons, Gomez has posted ERAs of 3.35, 3.19, and 3.01. He has above average command, but it isn't elite. Similarly, his 91 mph fastball and middling whiff rate won't turn heads. (Brad Johnson)

The Quick Opinion: Gomez is a workaday reliever who pitches in the major leagues. He deserves his job in the Phillies bullpen, but it's hard to get amped up about any one facet of his game.

Profile: If someone had asked you to "list off the relievers in MLB likely to crack 30 saves in 2016," Gomez would have been way, way, way down the list. But here we are, 37 saves later. The Phillies reliever snagged hold of a tenuous bullpen hierarchy early in the year and (for the most part) didn't look back. Of course, much of his early success was predicated on some luck, as his first half ERA (2.59) didn't match the FIP (3.63). He seemed to regress as the year went on, with those same ERA/FIP marks reading 8.33/4.48 following the all-star break, in large part due to his walk rate backing up to closer to 10% than 5%. While Gomez was indeed solid at times last year, he lacks the swing-and-miss stuff that helps tamp down BABIP luck in the 9th inning and the peripherals over the last three years paint the picture of a guy better suited for middle relief. He'll likely get a chance to reclaim the closer gig during spring training in 2017, but guys like Hector Neris and Joaquin Benoit represent better options if you absolutely had to take an upside flier in the Philadelphia pen.(Colin Zarzycki)

The Quick Opinion: Gomez surprised practically everybody with 37 saves in 2016, although his start-of-season was far better than his end-of-season. As a reliever who is stingy with free passes but lacks true whiff-inducing stuff, Gomez seems better suited for middle relief and is likely destined to be a low-upside RP option even if he regains the Phillies' closer gig out of spring training.
